My
God! What Have We Done?
I watched a video clip this morning
sent to me by a dear friend and colleague who knows a good video when she
sees them because she makes documentary videos (and is our collaborator on
our health freedom video project). I was struck with a sense
of awe and speechless wonder at the sight presented: a self-aware being
creating a self-portrait with assurance and aplomb. The being
is an elephant. We think we know a great deal about animal
psychology and are killing these majestic creatures with deadly efficiency
and ferocity but, as this thrilling video shows, we know little or nothing
about these astounding companions who share the earth with us.
Will we learn who they are before we kill them all?
Click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7Ge7Sogrk) to
share this video with me and be filled with wonder. If you are like me,
you will also be filled with a profound sense of regret and sorrow for
what we are doing to our planet and our fellow sentient beings.
Now
think a moment about what we are doing to ourselves on this
planet.
Have you
heard of the nightmare condition called Morgellon's Disease (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=599)?
Victims experience unbearable sensations
- all the time, day and
night - of insects crawling under
their skin, burning and itching so terrible that people have committed
suicide to end the torture.
To make
matters worse, much, much worse, these unfortunate people, who range in
age from babies to the elderly, have open lesions on their skin that
produces sharp, thin red, black, blue and white fibers and black sand-like
grains. The fibers appear to move as if alive and,
incredibly, when placed in a Petri dish after removal, continue to move
and grow!
The origin of this horror has been unclear since it was
first named in 2001 by the mother of a 3 year old baby whose symptoms she
described and documented on a website. Since that time,
thousands of people have been identified with this condition for which the
only successful cure has been that most potent (and safe) of all
antibiotics, nano silver. But the nature of the condition, and its cause,
have remained a mystery until now.
This
Plague Brought To You By
BioTech
When fibers from Morgellon's Disease lesions from numerous
patients were analyzed by competent scientists, they were found to contain
DNA from BOTH a fungus and a bacterium used in the production of
commercial Genetically Modified plants and animals!
Merging organisms that have totally separate
DNA and characteristics for the sake of profit, regardless of the health
or other consequences, the line between animate and inanimate has been
crossed.
And we are all
paying the price.
Like the fictional Dr. Frankenstein, who transformed the
non-living into a living creature which escaped his control, the biotech
industry has, we fear, created a real Frankenstein's Monster:
Franken Foods which are bringing new plagues on us and on the earth. The
future of our planet is literally and truly at stake. That is why the
Natural Solutions Foundation has taken on the task of educating decision
makers about GM threats.
As our good
friends and collaborators from the Ecological Options Network (http://www.eon3.net/) have noted on their
website, "To survive in the world
we have transformed, we must learn to think in a new way. As never before,
the future of each depends on the good of all."
Statement of 100
Nobel laureates on the 100th anniversary of the Nobel
prize
That's
Our Table!
Nine out of ten Americans already know that they do not
want to eat GM foods but the FDA and other decision makers in the US and
abroad do not necessarily get the message yet. After all, Big Biotech,
like Big Pharma, has bought a seat at the Power Table - in fact, some say they have
bought the whole table. Well, we, the "netroots" --
the consumers, have a seat at the table, too - in
fact, it's our table! We want the food on it to be clean,
wholesome and healthful. That's why we need your help to make
sure this message is heard at every Codex meeting and in the halls of
power around the world.
As it happens there is a Codex
meeting coming up this month in Ottawa Canada where labeling of GM
foods will be on the agenda, once again. For almost 20 years the US has
been trying to force Big Biotech's Agenda down the throats (literally!) of
the rest of the world. It has not been going well for the
US.
The wonderful innovation in Codex
proceedings that began at the last Codex Working Group on labeling of GM
foods (Feb, Accra), when developing nations told the US that it can no
longer dictate what happens to them and their health for the sake of the
corporations who determine US policy (and who send advisors to sit on the
US delegations of every Codex meeting), will be put to the test at the
Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL), April 28-May 2,
2008.
Natural Solutions Foundation will be there, reporting
e very day to tell you
what's going on, straight from the shoulder. No other
organization has the respect and cooperation of so many countries in the
Codex community.
AFTER the CCFL meeting we will tell you
all about the strategy meeting that we have helped initiate
and its impact on the proceedings at CCFL. You can understand
why we are not saying much about the who, what, when or where.
The why is pretty clear: an emerging coalition of nations is taking
their own power back to make it clear that their food and
health- and yours, since so much US food is imported from the
developing world -- is
not for sale. The US FDA, EPA and USDA may be for sale, but
these countries actually value the health of their people so much that
they will not permit GM foods in their countries or will only permit GM
foods if clearly labeled as such. It remains to be seen how
effective the developing nations are in their coalition strategy.
We'll let you know!
The Natural Solutions Foundation
will be there, supporting and assisting them and
you'll have a ring-side seat.
But this is an expensive endeavor.
In a few days we'll leave for Africa to meet with the
officials in charge of food safety and our Agricultural Project to enhance
crop production and nutrient density using magnets. Then, off
to Benin where we meet with Father Godfrey Nzamuio, the Founder and genius
behind the remarkable a UN Center of Excellence for Africa, the Songhai Center (http://www.songhai.org/songhai_en/),
video at www.YouTube.com/NaturalSolutions
our mentor on sustainable beyond-organic Zero Emissions farming for
our Panama Santa Clara demonstration project - see: (http://www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org
).
Next, we head to Ottawa for the 2008 meetings of the CCFL and
the meetings around it that could change the course of Codex, then off to
Panama to meet with people who are interested in becoming part of the
Santa Clara Project.

After that, we are off to the Codex Alimentarius Commission
meeting in Geneva where each Codex committee reports on its
work and moves it forward (or not - that's our
opportunity!)
One of our supporters has generously donated
$25,000 to cover the cost of airfare for the three members of the Natural
Solutions Foundation delegation on this trip. That is a
wonderful start and we are deeply moved by their support. The
trip will cost a lot more.
The 545 people who donated to the Natural
Solutions Foundation during the month of March have our profound
thanks! Without you, we could not continue our work.
Moving forward is becoming easier because our footprint is larger
in the health freedom world and in the developing world. We have
been asked by the Codex Contact Points of two countries to work with them
to establish Natural Solutions Foundation organizations in their
countries!
But there are both on-going
and special expenses we need your help to cover .
Won't you make your tax-deductible donation -(http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189)
right now to make sure that your health and freedom have the voice and the
vision that they deserve? Small donations add up.
Big donations are wonderful. Whatever you can give, give! And thank
you! And if you donate $100 or more, we will
count that as special help towards the funding of our documentary film on
health freedom and the Codex agenda. Don't forget that every
purchase you make at our outstanding online store, www.Organics4U.org helps to fund us and helps
to keep you healthy. And you get a 40% tax deduction of the total
price, too!
We Are There For You, Wherever That Takes
Us
The health freedom issues don't stop at
Codex. They are larger than compulsory drugging or
vaccination. They go beyond medical privacy. They include
forced toxification with dangerous areal sprays, for example, or taking
kids away when their parents won't medicate or vaccinate
them.
When
California and the EPA decided to spray for a non pest with chemicals
which are not safe and whose long term effects are not known, but to spray
every 30 days for 5 years none the less, the Natural Solutions Foundation
was rght there for you. To donate, click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189

In fact, you can take a look at my comments and General
Stubblebine's at a meeting last month on the insane spraying of the Light
Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) by visiting our webpage, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org
or our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/naturalsolutions
where you will find more information on the
California spraying plan for that mythical pest, LBAM. While
you are there, check out the amazing Songhai videos!
GM: the Most Expensive Cheap
Food You'll Ever Eat
GM food is cheap. It is grown under
conditions that turn lush complex ecosystems once known as
"farms" into monoculture (single crop) deserts.
The very concept of integrated farming, where one plant or animal
uses the waste of another and sustains the first one (or yet another) is
meaningless in monoculture. Vast industrial techniques and
huge government subsidies make GM food inexpensive and chemical additives
keep the prepared and fast foods so easily available cheap, cheap,
cheap.
Foods "rich" in GM ingredients and chemical substitutes
for real flavors and components are poor in nutrition. But
when you pick up a box of this or that or drive through a fast food lane,
you don't tend to count the cost of that cheap food: cancers,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, Morgellon's
Disease, potentially lethal allergies, infertility, depressed immunity,
auto immune disease, poor school performance, depression, anxiety, worry
about a loved one's illness or your own, doctor bills,
hospital bills, lost days at work or school, etc. The
"food" may be cheap, but the price you pay for eating or
serving it is enormous.
To read a summary of the health concerns associated
with GM foods, click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=600
).
While the US is dedicated in its support of the deadly
technology which produces "food" then-President George
H. W. Bush declared -- without a shred of science to back him up -- to be
identical to natural food, other countries are beginning to fear that they
have made a terrible mistake in embracing GM technology.
While the rest of the EU, for example, fears GM foods and
ingredients, Romania, concerned about the damage to the environment and
health, is considering ending its approval of GM food crops.
Click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=598)
to read more. While the US approves GM sugar beets to provide you with GM sugar (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=585)
later this year, the EU has blocked approval of a GM potato (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=587)
for this year's planting.
Australia, whose last Prime Minister could not
wait to get as many GM crops into the ground as possible is seeing things
a little differently now. Strong agitation is pressing the
government there to delay approval of GM crops (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=587)
until their safety has been tested and fairly
evaluated.
When you go to a market that sells real, nourishing foods
(perhaps your local farmers market) you do not hesitate to bear the extra
cost of organic and wholesome foods. You know the hidden cost of cheap,
factory-made Franken Foods is the health of your family.
Staples like taro in Hawaii, rice in Asia, soy and corn in the
US have already been genetically modified. Papaya, peas, potatoes, pigs,
they are all fair game for the GM boys (and girls). Never mind
that species besides the crop which has been genetically modified are
being contaminated -- for
example, us, through Morgellon's Disease. Insects, arguably
significantly smarter than we are, have already figured out how to resist
the super plants and their loads of super pesticides, becoming resistant
and passing their resistance on to the huge levels of pesticide many
plants are engineered to produce. In South Africa the Agricultural
Research Council (ARC) has published trial results that indicate
stalk-borer larvae have developed the ability to survive the Bt poison
contained in GM maize [corn] plants. Click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=580)
to read more.
But consumers who do not want to eat GM foods
and do not want their word, or their bodies, contaminated by GM technology
and its cataclysmic mistakes are on the march. In Hawaii,
where taro is a staple food, consumers have gotten the State Legislature
to consider a 10 year moratorium on GM taro (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=584).
It would be a good idea to make that march a quick step
double time, too, because even the existence of clean food, certified
organic, is threatened by the use of GM plants. That may be
hard to imagine, but GM food spreads beyond its boundaries on wind and
wheels and wings. The continued availability of components to
make organic foods, which are grown without pesticides, artificial
fertilizers, genetically modified components or other
food-born toxins is in
question.
Widespread contamination of U.S.
corn, soybeans and other crops by genetically engineered varieties is
threatening the purity of organic and natural food products and driving
purveyors of such specialty products to new efforts to protect their
markets.
Read more (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=588).
This is particularly remarkable when you consider that although most
countries allow a 0.9% contamination level of GM components in organic
products, the US allows a shocking 10% contamination in certified organic
foods. So if
products which are 90% free of GM crops are increasingly hard to come by,
what does that say about the urgency of the situation for those of us who
do not want to undergo forced drugging by toxic components or Franken
Foods?
Ready to Get
Involved?
I hope you are now good and
steamed and looking for an outlet for your outrage (justified) at a system
which actively prohibits labeling of GM foods because it (the FDA) knows
that you will reject GM foods so they make it a crime to tell you if your
foods are genetically modified.
Join the
Natural Solutions Foundation Say NO! to GMO forum and
become part of a community ready for action. Visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-genetically-modified-food/ to become a member of
the forum.
And, most importantly, get everyone you know
to join as well. If ever netroots had a part to play in
shaping policy, now is that time. And if ever the timeline
before the tipping point into environmental disaster was close enough to
take action without waiting any longer, now is that time, too.
We need to force the FDA to REQUIRE labeling
of GM foods, not forbid it, to hold hearings on the safety (really, the
lack thereof) of GM foods for the environment and for people, to make all
corporate information submitted to the FDA about GM foods and non-food
crops public, to find out what the USDA knows and does not know about the
pharmaceutically modified crops it has lost control of, according to an
internal audit of its Pharma modified crop test plantings, etc. And we
need to do it quickly.
We need to get GM foods out of schools,
hospitals, and off our tables, and we need to do it now!
GM
is the problem, but WE, yes, WE! Are the answer…

continuing story of mandated vaccinations. You can follow some of those
developments at my co-trustee, Ralph Fucetola JD's blog. Click here: http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2008/03/media-blitz-supports-big-pharma.html
